Shear force measurement of the hydrodynamic wall position in molecular dynamics

Abstract

Flows in nanofluidic systems are strongly affected by liquid-solid slip, which is quantified by the slip length and by the position where the slip boundary condition applies. Here, we show that the viscosity, slip length, and hydrodynamic wall position (HWP) can be accurately determined from a single molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of a Poiseuille flow, after identifying a relation between the HWP and the wall shear stress in that configuration. From this relation, we deduce that in gravity-driven flows, the HWP identifies with the Gibbs dividing plane of the liquid-vacuum density profile. Simulations of a generic Lennard-Jones liquid confined between parallel frozen walls show that the HWP for a pressure-driven flow is also close to the Gibbs dividing plane (measured at equilibrium), which therefore provides an inexpensive estimate of the HWP, going beyond the common practice of assuming a given position for the hydrodynamic wall. For instance, we show that the HWP depends on the wettability of the surface, an effect usually neglected in MD studies of liquid-solid slip. Overall, the method introduced in this article is simple, fast, and accurate and could be applied to a large variety of systems of interest for nanofluidic ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
